Then it would be an export or integration to the CRM in a way that would let all volunteers access or input information on contacts (including non-financial) without having the spreadsheet maintainer be the bottleneck. The catch there is that the CRM has to be as powerful and simple as a spreadsheet for data sorting, reporting, entry. I "think" Civi or Sugar could work - but the challenge for the organization would be to learn how to use the system. Otherwise, with a simple spreadsheet UI like DataTables https://datatables.net/index and the php library you mention, a custom solution would allow them to work in any manner they choose. > some data is easy and other stuff is painful. > > here's a php library that rocks for all intuit stuff > https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php > > I have been using this for deep and simple integrations with all levels of > qb. > > hope this helps! > That rocks.
